Chapter 25

"Contrary to you, I feel younger," said Albus gently. "You too, Gellert, you look..." He hesitated to pick the right word, "very... personable."

"Come on, I just want to blow the heads of those imbeciles." Gellert snorted self-deprecatingly, "Or, you mean, I look like a full-fledged politician. That's right, I'm kind of like that now and my irascible uncle admired it very much, except that I would never accept his pipe and pocket watch.” He raised his eyelids and fiddled with the watch on his wrist, which had no scales or numerals but ten Two Little Stars - Invented by Albus, a Christmas present a few years ago.

"Okay, whatever people complain about, I'm going on vacation." He tilted his body, completely without the momentum just now.

Eight summers had passed since that church conversation.The ninth one was about to pass, Arianna brought the steaming stuffed pie to the table, Albert pressed Anne's troubled little hand, and begged softly, "Honey, wait until the big guys finish praying before eating—— "

Albus is the only one in the family who truly believes in God, but for various reasons, everyone follows him in devoutly—mostly feigned—belief in the existence of God.Gellert clasped his hands, regardless of whether the posture was correct or not.Prayers of thanksgiving hummed together, "Amen," Gellert uttered the clearest pronunciation.To be honest, he couldn't tell the difference between the prayers at all.He quarreled with different idiots three times in the morning and at noon—one-sided quarrels, and he scolded each other bloody.Bagshot came to the small hall before going out, and brought him a cup of tea and mints, "You are not like your father at all," the old woman pouted, "My dear boy, calm down, there is nothing you can do about it thing."

"I heard that my father has a very gentle personality," Gellert poured down the black tea in one breath, "that's why he was forced by his father and brother's 'request', for the honor of the family, exhausted all his courage, and married a crazy woman ,” he pointed to his head, “then, a little madman was born.”

The quarrel was exhausting, Gellert slowly cut the pie, and heard Albert sincerely praised his wife, "Your craftsmanship is getting better and better, sweetheart, I didn't know there were such delicious pies in the world! "

Arianna looked at her husband with tender blue eyes, "Honey, your mouth is getting sweeter."

Albert was able to marry the youngest daughter of the Dumbledore family, in the final analysis, it was Gellert's "credit".His powerful "forget it all" completely wiped Little John's memory of the blond girl down the valley.Old John was told that his son had been seriously injured in the cemetery behind the church, and that he was about to die with the three hooligans when he picked up the plowshare. Fortunately, the enthusiastic neighbor stepped forward and pulled him away.Stubborn old John decided that Godric's Valley was old and abandoned by God, so he sold his property and took his family to the big city, and never heard from him again.Ariana cried for days when she got the news while she was at church.

"It's good that you can still be hurt by love when you're young." Albus sighed, and Gellert listened to it, feeling very uncomfortable.But they have agreed to be a pair of friends. "She's a little girl," he said dryly. "When she's older, she'll find something more suitable."

Aberforth and Ariana remained undifferentiated until they reached adulthood, and successfully became the most common and ordinary type of people in the world.Albus was relieved, as Ariana was nearing graduation and was hanging out with "a Hufflepuff kid".Aberforth didn't graduate as his brother expected, and he didn't get a single NEWTs certificate.In his words, "Two years of time and textbook money were wasted." He took a job at the Hog's Head pub in Hogsmeade and met Ariana and her "best friend" a few times.

"Nothing special," Albus relayed his brother's letter, "brown hair, brown eyes, a few freckles on the tip of the nose."

"Typical Hufflepuff," said Gellert, not at all surprised by Aberforth's work.This is almost inevitable. A deviation of thirty centimeters will at most allow him to become the boss a few years earlier, or to clean up the dirty dishes.

"It's a stereotype," Albus pointed out mildly. "I think the kid is good, but character is the first thing to look at."

At that time, Gellert had achieved a moderate position in the Prussian Federation of Magic. After the summer of 1899 was over, Ariana's safety was confirmed, and he left Godric's Hollow, but did not return to Durmstrang, but took the exam directly.He himself scoffed at the usefulness of the certificate, but Albus and his stubborn uncle insisted that he had to take the exam.He took 22 exams in one week, got [-] O's and two E's, and then was stuffed into the Austrian branch by his uncle. He started working in the office and was quickly promoted.However, Gellert has always refused to serve in the Auror's office. "Let me catch the dark wizard?" He came to Albus' dormitory through the fireplace after a day's work, parting his overly long blond hair, "what's the difference between letting me catch myself?"

"You are not a dark wizard." Albus pushed his glasses, and his subordinates kept grading homework.The original Defense Against the Dark Arts professor at Hogwarts has retired, and he has left the Wizarding Examinations Board to take over the job.Gellert climbed onto the chair, flattened himself, fumbled for a teacup, and poured the cold black tea down his throat.Then, after a long silence in the sweet fragrance of honey, I murmured, "I hate going to work...especially on rainy days."

"Then you want to resign?"

"Resigned... go back to be a farmer?"

"One has to find something to do." The quill rustled across the parchment. "Being a farmer? That's not for you."

"I see, too. I've been idle long enough... 53 years." Gellert put the teacup on his chest, staring at the sniffing pattern on it.The sniffing head turned its head, and the tip of its nose shrugged, as if it wanted to grab the gold dust off its body and stuff it into its pocket, "I'm going to the farm... I can't help but tamper with the grass. Those farm laborers will cry, so... ..."

At the end of the fifth summer, Ariana got married.Albert is an ordinary-looking, mild-mannered wizard who has a small office in the British Ministry of Magic.At the wedding, Ariana threw a bouquet in anticipation of the crowd.The bouquet must have been enchanted, flying straight towards Albus.The new professor at Hogwarts reluctantly caught the red roses and lilies. He raised the bouquet and shook it, only to find that Gellert had disappeared somewhere.

The following year, Ariana and Albert had the fruit of their love.They looked through dictionaries for a long time and consulted Bagshot.Finally, before the birth of the child, the young couple excitedly told Albus and Gellert that they were going to name the newborn "Aurelius". Unexpectedly, the two were shocked, and then repeatedly objected.

"For Merlin's sake," Gellert stammered rarely, "I think... you should... give the child... a normal name."

Albus rubbed his fingers awkwardly, "I agree."

In the end, the redheaded little girl got a "normal" name.

Annie, it just couldn't be normal anymore.
